Jeff, The clipart provided on the second CD for DRAW 2.01 is an exact duplicate of the clipart on disk one. Though it may seem odd, we do not import the .EPS files we export. This is okay though since you have the .CDR's anyway on Disk1. The second disk…
Bruce, If all the lines have been broken apart, select a line with the shape tool. The nodes will appear. If you hit the home key the first node is highlited, if you hit the end key that last node is highlited. If there is a break in the line,…
Joy, No problem. Glad to hear that worked. 🙂 Paul
Robert, The mapping process is done automatically in order of priority. CoreDRAW polls the True Type engine first to match fonts, then the AT1 engine and finally WFN. If you wish to use AT1 fonts then simply remove the corresponding font from True Type and the AT1 will be selected,…
Jaimie, Ensure that the object you wish to manipulate is not part of a group. If you select the shape tool and ths object turns into a blue dotted line, then it is part of a group. Ungroup it (if needed) and then see if the circle and square are…
Michael, Sure. Send the files my way and I'll have a look. I'll let you know if I see anything unusual. Paul
David One final detail: Does this mean I can choose to *selectively* install Corel-supplied Type 1 fonts? In other words, I've got Palatino already, so I wouldn't want to install your Palm Springs again; on the other hand, I don't have Delphin, so I would want to install your Type…
Robert, > 1. Re the bitmap editing component. Does it allow you to scan?(if > so, PPaintbrush gets cleared out) No I am afraid it has been removed. > 2.Re fonts. Do they come in both TType and PS formats? Yes. The fonts come in TT and AT1. > 3.Re…
Michael, I ran out of space in the last message. To answer your last question: " Is there any way I can use v2.0 with the CD Clipart? " No. The clipart stored on the CD-ROM ver3.0 was saved in DRAW 3.0 and cannot be read in 2.xx unless saved…
Michael, As Donna mentioned we did some testing of our own and came up with the following results: Start Program: v2.0 – 4 sec. v3.0 – 5 sec. Load a 40k .CDR file: v2.0 – 5 sec. v3.0 – 9 sec. (wireframe) v3.0 – 14 sec (editable preview) Preview same…
Dave, I think you can judge by the reponse to your initial comments that Trace is in fact an effective and productive tool to be used by professionals for professional work. Perhaps your expectations of Trace (and tracing technology in general) have been somewhat inflated by advertising claims. If this…
Postscript File Settings
Message #788
It seems I have goofed. My previous message sent To Gary Nolan #670 stated that PSComplexityThreshold has no effect on exporting to .EPS. This is incorrect. If you encounter complexity problems adjusting this value *DOES* effect .EPS output. Sorry for the mis-information. We strive to ensure that this never happens…
PostScript driver 5.1
Message #781
Robert, Please refer to message # 552 for a description of a work around. I belive it was addressed to you. Paul [Corel]
#cdrom
Message #780
David, You are right. In DRAW ver 3.0 The Windows TT engine and the ATM engine provide fonts for our use. Where they reside is up to these two apps. As for WFN's this is where FontsDir comes into play. They can be wherever you please, but *all* WFN's must…
Mark, I need more info. When you printed the file from Corel directly to your postscript printer all was well. Yes? You then exported the file as .EPS and used the approriate function in word to import the file. When it printed from Word it looked terrible. Assuming the file…
#What a Waste of $400
Message #774
Dave, Let me begin by saying that you have not wasted your money. Coverting a bitmap to vector, as you have discovered, is not always as easy as it would seem. There are a number of determining factors which influence the effectiveness of Trace, not the least of which is…
Corel3 and Typesetters?
Message #773
Michael, > 1. What happens to Corel fonts that have an equivalent (or > near-equivalent) Postscript font? How will it output? Since you are now using DRAW 3.0 the fonts you use are structured in the following way. TTF's are used first, AT1's second and then finally WFN's. The reason…
#degradation of text
Message #769
David, It sounds as though you may have a rather thick outline on the text you are using. If you have inadvertently changed your default settings to include an outline on your text, this may account for several things. The "chunky" preview and output could certainly result from such an…
#Postscript File Settings
Message #768
To get back to Gary's questions, I think Donna answered the first in regards to PSComplex… Yes Steve the hard and fast rules of Postscript sometimes do not *always* apply in the real world, however I think Gary can benefit from having these guides as a basis for experimentation. Mathematically…
